    That was a NICE arrangement! That wasn't that bad - considering all you get is the video mic...

    Needs a dash of passion and a pinch of soul...
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...

    Not ones in college acapella groups.

    Now Rockapella...that's a different story.

    I'll agree with that. The lead singer has no emotion or tone. He sucked.

    The arrangement was good and harmonizing good.

    The tempo was a major turn-off, though. Way too fast for that song. If they'd slowed it down, I'd bet it would better resonate with the audience.

    And that wasn't an octet. I counted at least 12 people there.

    I give it a C-.

    One of the first things I noticed was that it was not an octet. After looking on YouTube a bit, I figured out that it is just the name of the group. It looks to be between 12 and 16 kids and they have been doing shows for a few years. Maybe it is some group on campus that naturally reinvents itself every 4 years with passing students. A competing acapella group from the same campus is Ephlat...

    I totally agree with the tempo comment - I like the tempo be sang it at.
    Peace
